This is a relatively minor issue but I just want to record it in case it happens again in the future because this really is a great tool.Python (and I'm using Python 2.7 in W7) is not in the path so to get the Server to work in Windows 7 I was using the following command:/Python27/python -m SimpleHTTPServerThis had worked perfectly in both the Command Prompt and in Cygwin.However, when I went back to W7 after about a week, I couldn't find Python and the above command no longer worked (no such command error).But when I went to install Python from here, I wasn't given an install option, only repair or uninstall.This means that it was already installed -- but where was it?Anyway, I uninstalled it and re-installed and now the above command works perfectly again.Strange.

What's that picture?

This is the Praça de Estação (Station Park) near the center of Belo Horizonte, MG in Brazil where I live. This area which includes a metro station was recently cleaned up and refurbished and has become one of the picture postcard areas of a city that is truly finding its identity.
